And I pretty much read with my students daily, and then give them writing prompts and activities that are related to the characters in the story, or the plot or the setting. ]]> 2019-11-13 03:21:06 UTC https://padlet.com/mking25/q9ouncgkn04y/wish/410372673 https://padlet.com/mking25/q9ouncgkn04y/wish/410373111 I am co-teaching in a GE classroom. As far as writing, students have written on modified Cornell notes about plot, characterization, figurative language, conflict, and setting. We discuss this in class after the students write the notes. We pick cards and students give an example of one of the characters and settings etc. The students also are able to listen to audio books of our novels. We are currently working on writing an explanatory paragraph on the theme of our novel, The Graveyard Book. We will be having discussions in class about the theme of the novel, Graveyard Book. ]]> 2019-11-13 03:23:03 UTC https://padlet.com/mking25/q9ouncgkn04y/wish/410373111 https://padlet.com/mking25/q9ouncgkn04y/wish/410373215 In our class I use vocabulary as a starting point for writing. Each week I present 5 vocabulary words, we discuss meaning and then I have the class use the words to write a story, or I let them come up to the board and write a sentence using the words. We then correct and edit as a class.]]> 2019-11-13 03:23:34 UTC https://padlet.com/mking25/q9ouncgkn04y/wish/410373215 https://padlet.com/mking25/q9ouncgkn04y/wish/410373275 2019-11-13 03:23:48 UTC https://padlet.com/mking25/q9ouncgkn04y/wish/410373275 ljaneska https://padlet.com/mking25/q9ouncgkn04y/wish/410373300 We write different topics each warm up.]]> 2019-11-13 03:23:55 UTC https://padlet.com/mking25/q9ouncgkn04y/wish/410373300 ljaneska https://padlet.com/mking25/q9ouncgkn04y/wish/410373480 We wrote our first essay in the class with outlines, rough drafts, and revising. ]]> 2019-11-13 03:24:39 UTC https://padlet.com/mking25/q9ouncgkn04y/wish/410373480 https://padlet.com/mking25/q9ouncgkn04y/wish/410373514 My SDC class has MANY different levels of abilities.  We do many worksheets and Google Slides based on the novels we have read so far.  They are completing an independent reading assignment where they choose a book at their independent reading level, get a reading log signed off by a parent, and create 5 Google Slides.

My RS class is more even in abilities. They have daily entries that include a WOD (word of the day) and a journal write that goes along with it. ]]> 2019-11-13 03:24:46 UTC https://padlet.com/mking25/q9ouncgkn04y/wish/410373514 ljaneska https://padlet.com/mking25/q9ouncgkn04y/wish/410373629 Students read articles, then reflect what they have learned in a paragraph on google classroom. ]]> 2019-11-13 03:25:13 UTC https://padlet.com/mking25/q9ouncgkn04y/wish/410373629 https://padlet.com/mking25/q9ouncgkn04y/wish/410373795 I read short stories, passages, and poems out loud to students, then generate discussions to pick apart character, plot, conflict, etc. It doesn't seem like my students get to hear different types of writing, read with enthusiasm and prosody, enough. So far this year, the students have been very invested in the texts I've selected and it seems to have expanded the texts they have selected for their own pleasure reading. -- Kelly]]> 2019-11-13 03:26:01 UTC https://padlet.com/mking25/q9ouncgkn04y/wish/410373795 https://padlet.com/mking25/q9ouncgkn04y/wish/410373805 We create flip books for each letter for our letters of the month! -Kimmaly Pritchard]]> 2019-11-13 03:26:06 UTC https://padlet.com/mking25/q9ouncgkn04y/wish/410373805 https://padlet.com/mking25/q9ouncgkn04y/wish/410373853 We read a lot of Read Naturally. We have gotten into a routine of creating paragraph retells for each story we read. Helps keep them writing and keep them accountable works across grades and skill levels and teaches a skill too.
Our district curriculum Benchmark Advanced also has "Reader Theatre" it is great and gets students reading plays aloud and interacting.

I encourage them to use as much vocabulary as possible. We do not have special programs that are used for writing about the math vocabulary. If students struggle with the terminology/vocabulary I will help them with the terms, but ask them to assist with what they mean.

We have journals and write down ideas, but getting going on the writing train is a bit tricky. They draw their ideas a lot, with the hope that soon they can write about their picture. They also describe things with their voices, but not with a writing utensil.

We build word walls, dissect unfamiliar language, summarize, reflect, discuss as a class etc.

They love this game and get a lot of language practice in.
